Note(s) : "The Oil Prince's Legacy traces Rockefeller philanthropy in China from the nineteenth
century to today. Family diaries, letters, interviews in China, and institutional
archival records are used to tell a compelling story about successive Rockefeller
generations and U.S.-China cultural relations. This book describes how Rockefeller
philanthropy came to focus on elite science and medicine and ensured their ongoing
importance in the American-Chinese relationship. That importance is still seen today
in the ties of the two countries in natural and social sciences, the humanities, economics,
and higher education. The Rockefeller family's involvement with China continues in
the fourth and fifth generations, even as Rockefeller philanthropy is reshaped in
response to China's rise as a global power. Understanding the origin, evolution, Cold
War interregnum, and post-Mao renewal of Rockefeller philanthropy brings new clarity
to the nature and tenacity of this ongoing bilateral relationship."--Provided by publisher
